A Brief History of Marca

The manufacturers of the Cordier reed cutter are reed makers of five generations based in the beautiful French Riviera where they grow their cane.

With their extensive experience, Marca’s reed cutter is the most favourably accepted reed-cutter offered today in the Music Trade. The Cordier features a sharp blade that ensures an excellent cut and a regulator to hold the reed firmly while trimming. A precision instrument that can easily trim off as little as 2 or 3 thousandths of an inch on a wet or dry reed to give a reed a new uniformed edge. Easily adjustable, compatible with all brands of reed and durable enough to last throughout a player's career.
